8.3. Applications, Evaluations, and Reports

An application represents the link between what your team is actually developing and all the information that can be provided. You’ll generally want this to be one-to-one. That is for every application your team is developing, you should create an application via the IQ Server. While this application is merely a representation of the real thing, it’s no less important.

At the application level, you can do nearly everything you can for an organization. This includes creating policies and all the associated details. Additionally, whenever you perform an evaluation, and a report is generated, all that information will be associated to a specific application.

Don’t get too stressed out if all of this seems like too much. In later chapters (see Policy Management and Application Composition Report), we’ll discuss this in greater detail.
